BIO: Mexico City based band Mint Field is one of these bands that make it shine. Guided by Estrella del Sol and Sebastian Neyra. Mint Field creates a unique blend of avant dream pop and shoegaze with some touches of trip hop that explores the nostalgia and melancholy of daily life with strong guitars and voices that are like sighs. Intrumentation and atmospheres are accompanied by delicate, harmonious and ethereal voices that are fundamental part of the sound. With releases such as their debut album Pasar de las Luces (2018), Sentimiento Mundial (2020) and their most recent album Aprender a Ser (2023) and Aprender a Ser : Extended (2024). Their sound has evolved over the course of these years of touring all over the world. In 2020 the band started fleshing out their latest album Aprender a Ser the follow-up to 2020’s minimalist psych/shoegaze album, Sentimiento Mundial. They wrote, recorded, produced, and mixed the album in isolation. They had time to slow things down and think more obsessively about the sound, environment, and vibe they wanted to create. Aprender a Ser became a really intimate album, every single detail was meticulously worked on. Fast forward to January 2023. During this period, the band recorded approximately twenty-five more songs and trimmed it down to ten, cohesive tracks that fit conceptually while at the same time trying to evolve their sound. During the recording process, they naturally came back to the roots of the Mint Field sound by doing a lot of layering, utilizing different types of reverb, and exploring more ethereal, ambient, dream pop, trip-hop, and shoegaze sounds. In August 2024 the band released the extended version of their album Aprender a Ser. Mint Field has also their own curated festival in Mexico City named after their own song ‘Sueño Despierto’. The first edition being in 2023 and second one in 2024 they had the band accompanied by Mabe Fratti, Valgur, Diles que no me maten, among others. Presented by Kilowatt. This is a 21+ event
